Étaples is a coastal town in northern France, situated in the Pas-de-Calais department. This historic fishing port, located at the mouth of the River Canche, has a rich maritime heritage that continues to influence its culture today.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Étaples gained recognition as an artists' colony, attracting painters from various countries who were drawn to its unique light, picturesque harbor, and fishing community. The town played a significant role during World War I as the site of a major British military base and hospital complex.

Today, Étaples maintains its connection to both its fishing industry heritage and artistic legacy, with its maritime museum Maréis showcasing the local fishing traditions and maritime history. The town's cultural landscape is shaped by its historical architecture, traditional fish markets, and the preservation of its artistic heritage.
